helenkacan May. 14th, 2012 06:56 am)::sighs:: What is it about 4 a.m. (or thereabouts) and me waking up? It's now been two days in a row, if you couldn't guess from the time I posted the Charlotte & Jonathan video. No wonder I was too zonked to post last night (especially as I'd gone to bed at 1:15 a.m.).
Sunday had its ups (way up) and downs (ugh).
UP: Doing a fabulous eye makeup job (including ::gasps:: contouring with eye shadows).
UP: Getting my hair to obey (with the assistance of hairspray).
DOWN: Being picked up early and then being stuck in another stupid traffic snarl because there was a 10K charity run, supposedly the first of a series that will be happening Every. Bloody. Sunday! The driver was simply incensed. No wonder: his schedule was totally wrecked.
UP: Sitting behind our guest preacher, a doctor and fertility specialist, and her family.
UP: Going over and giving my church mum a hug and getting a kiss on the cheek in return. Posting on FB and having her call me “daughter” in a comment. That is something I'll treasure forever.
UP: Having my sis RS ask me for my advice on a personal matter after church. ::giggles:: I may have some experience there.
UP: Having my driver take me on a nostalgic tour on the way home. First he went up University and along Hoskin. When we passed Trinity College, I remembered Brent receiving his doctorate and, many decades earlier, me performing in the chapel, its magnificent stained glass windows behind me. [I'm grateful I have a piccie to remind me.]
UP: Grocery shopping and buying something different for lunch – prepared couscous salad (at half-price).
DOWN: Finding the quality of the oranges I bought to be terrible. I may have to slice them in quarters and suck out the flesh as they're too dry to peel easily.
UP: Watching a couple more epis of Glee.
UP: Taking a three-hour nap. Waking up and resetting the alarm for an additional hour and falling back to sleep automatically.
UP: Staying up and reading, trying not to fall behind.
